A day in the life of the spliceosome [PDF]
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2014 One of the most amazing findings in molecular biology was the discovery that eukaryotic genes are discontinuous, interrupted by stretches of non-coding sequence. The subsequent realization that the intervening regions are removed from pre-mRNA transcripts via the activity of a common set of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), which assemble together with ...

Therapeutic Targeting of Alternative Splicing: A New Frontier in Cancer Treatment
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 The ability for cells to harness alternative splicing enables them to diversify their proteome in order to carry out complex biological functions and adapt to external and internal stimuli. The spliceosome is the multiprotein-RNA complex charged with the

Bidirectional coupling of splicing and ATM signaling in response to transcription-blocking DNA damage [PDF]
, 2016 In response to DNA damage cells activate intricate protein networks to ensure genomic fidelity and tissue homeostasis. DNA damage response signaling pathways coordinate these networks and determine cellular fates, in part, by modulating RNA metabolism ...

Structure of spliceosomal ribonucleoproteins [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2010 Splicing of the precursors of eukaryotic mRNA and some non-coding RNAs is catalyzed by the 'spliceosome', which comprises five RNA-protein complexes (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, or snRNPs) that assemble in an ordered manner onto precursor-mRNAs. Much progress has been made in determining the gross morphology of spliceosomal assembly intermediates.

Alternative Spliceosome Assembly Pathways Revealed by Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy
Cell Reports, 2013 Removal of introns from nascent transcripts (pre-mRNAs) by the spliceosome is an essential step in eukaryotic gene expression. Previous studies have suggested that the earliest steps in spliceosome assembly in yeast are highly ordered and the stable ...

A human protein required for the second step of pre-mRNA splicing is functionally related to a yeast splicing factor [PDF]
, 1997 We have identified a human splicing factor required for the second step of pre-mRNA splicing. This new protein, hPrp18, is 30% identical to the yeast splicing factor Prp18.

The MUC1 extracellular domain subunit is found in nuclear speckles and associates with spliceosomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 MUC1 is a large transmembrane glycoprotein and oncogene expressed by epithelial cells and overexpressed and underglycosylated in cancer cells. The MUC1 cytoplasmic subunit (MUC1-C) can translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression.

Writing a wrong: Coupled RNA polymerase II transcription and RNA quality control [PDF]
, 2019 Processing and maturation of precursor RNA species is coupled to RNA polymerase II transcription. Co-transcriptional RNA processing helps to ensure efficient and proper capping, splicing, and 3' end processing of different RNA species to help ensure ...

Srsf10 and the minor spliceosome control tissue-specific and dynamic SR protein expression
eLife, 2020 Minor and major spliceosomes control splicing of distinct intron types and are thought to act largely independent of one another. SR proteins are essential splicing regulators mostly connected to the major spliceosome.
